Well, turns out it was just practice. It was well made nest with a well in the middle and everything. Got home and this is what I found.which a good thing as I need to clean the floor.

Thank you. I will give her "check up" when I get home today. It was so hard not to go home for lunch.

Thank you. I live just NW of Houston and our days have been VERY hot. My thermometer Sat. said 109*. That's why I put frozen water bottles in their water. The other chickens were just watching her.

So this morning, I go out to put frozen water bottles in the waterers. Every morning my girls are all out in their yard. Well this morning they were not and I am thinking there is a critter in their enclosed yard. No critters. So I opened the back "door" to their boxes. Lo and behold, one of my...

Is he a "teenager"? I'm sorry I couldn't help it.

I haven't even looked what fermented feed is. But I do keep seeing it around the posts. I just haven't looked it up yet. I do not have a problem with them not eating their feed. I do try to wait until the actually have tumped over before I feed them again. Otherwise I have a lot of waste in...

My mom's chicken (rescue Easter chic) and her cat have "spats". Mom will throw down a piece of cheese and a pizza bone (that's what we call the crusts. "throw bones to the animals") and Ethel will steal the cheese from the cat and then the cat will steal it back from the chicken. The cat will...

The good thing is that I have sandy soil. Plenty of grit there and I also throw in some oyster grit stuff (not sure of the name). Because of the sand, we do not have many worms. My granddaughters love coming over and that is the first thing they do. Give a cup of meal worms (small container I...

I thought it was a neat idea to feed my babies worms. As you can see I cut them up so they would be able to eat them. Picture is of my granddaughter feeding them. Now when I go over to her house she says, "Worms, chickens Nanny". Meaning she wants to go feed them. Anyway, back to the subject...

Thank you. I have some octangular paving stones. I already put their water up on one. I'll put another under the feeder.

Well my babies are getting bigger. They scratch their feed all over. I have the small canister feeder with the red bottom. Yesterday I filled it up and when I got home from work, it was empty with feed all over the ground. My question is this. Should I refill it every day, since feed is still...
